Groundhog Day

February 2
By Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

 

Groundhog Day is when we learn whether there will be an early spring. According to folk wisdom, if a groundhog emerges from his burrow and sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter.

This, then, is a day to think about change — or the lack of it — in our lives. It's a perfect time to watch one of our favorite romantic comedies that is a very good portrait of the spiritual practice of transformation.

Here's how to "name this day":

• Rent the movie Groundhog Day.
• Read our review.
• Talk about it with family and friends using the Values & Visions Video Guide.
